Take care of yourself first. Yes, this is the season of giving, but you can’t leave yourself out. Make the time to book your facial, massage or manicure before your office holiday party or family gathering. If you are not caring for yourself you could get resentful of the obligations that take up your time instead of being joyful.

Plan to keep snacks and water with you everyday. Keeping yourself fueled is a great strategy to keep you from stressing out and getting cranky in the long check out lines at the mall.

Use up your insurance before the end of the year. Yes, you could use the dental portion.... but massage is much more fun.

Make lists ahead of time. This will help you stay organized and efficient. Plus it feels really good to check things OFF your list when you are done.

Get a good night’s sleep. Parties and outings throw off your schedule. Try to go to sleep at the same time every night as much as possible.

Cook in bulk. Make meals larger than you need so you have extra to heat up on a night that you are pressed for time.

Shop online! And shop from local merchants. They will treat you better and appreciate your business more. AND you will be supporting your community.

Figure out your holiday gift shopping out ahead of time. If you take the time to choose what you want to give your loved ones BEFORE you head out to the mall, you will be finished in no time. Wandering the stores looking for the gift that “calls to you” can take a long time and leave you frustrated.
